Ridiculous, this is some shady deal. Cursor's worth is around 150k :D.

60B for Composer 2…that is built from Kimi K2… what ever happened to “Grok being the best”?

Am I the only one that thinks Composer is really good, when you factor in the speed and the cost?

I don’t doubt it is. End of the day, it’s a fine tuned Kimi. They tried to hide it and making their work sound more impressive than it is. It’s easy to have stuff be cheap when you don’t have to train your own model from scratch.

Composer is clearly dumber than the rest but then I only ask it dumb questions and it answers them really quickly.

If Twitter was when Musk jumped the shark this is definitely him sticking the landing.

If I stop paying for Cursor, will they threaten to sue like Twitter does?

What are the implications of this for Cursor being model agnostic?

So I have to switch away from cursor? Any recommendations?
